Jul 9, 2012Pretty good. Not on the same level as their last release with all the passable tracks (I'm looking at you Robocop 4: **** off Robocop, Sorry dad I was late for the riots) but FOTL keeps on putting out good albums overall. The sound seems a bit more mainstream towards the middle tracks, Best tracks: Sheena is a T-shirt Salesman
Failed Olympic Bid
A Guide to Men

Jun 15, 2012When he inevitably hits Hollywood, Falkous will slip naturally in to the part of the arch overlord's evil henchman. The henchman who dispatches the weak, the dubious, and the downright annoying with his sly, bombastic, and ultimately fatal pronouncements. Deep down we all want to be him - this album gives us a taste of what it will be like when we all eventually become him.

Jun 12, 2012This album is their most ambitious and accessible to date, and easily one of the best albums of 2012. There are few lyricists better than Falkous in music right now (regardless of genre), and the new lineup is, quite simply, a revelation. Highly recommended.

Aug 10, 2012The Plot finds the group building on their palate, zeroing in on the details more than ever before, meaning the straight up fidgety punk ("Sheena Is A T-Shirt Salesman"), keyboard-led silliness ("A Guide To Men") and the obligatory epic closer ("Notes On Achieving Orbit") are all better realised than their cousins on previous albums.
